Summary/Abstract: The Merry Cemetery of Săpânţa highlights its originality both in terms of traditional art and culture, and in terms of language, which reflects not only the popular mentality, but also “the diversity and expressivity of the popular Romanian language in the region of Maramureş” (Florica Dimitrescu).This paper investigates several linguistic features (phonetic, morphological, lexical, stylistic), as reflected in the epitaphs of the Merry Cemetery in Săpânţa, which confirm both the conservative nature of the Maramures subdialect and its openness to innovation.
